A hose that shrinks back

There’s a special kind of frustration that comes with wrestling a rigid garden hose out of a shed, untangling it, and then trying to jam it back into the same shed an hour later. It never fits the way it did before.

The Pocket Hose sidesteps that whole ritual. Hook it up and it stretches out to a full 100 feet, plenty of reach for a yard, a driveway, or a dock. Turn off the water and it contracts back down to something you can actually coil up without a fight.

It’s built marine-grade, which means it’s made to handle the kind of use boats and marine vehicles put a hose through — though nothing says it has to stay on the water. A garden bed or a patio works just as well.

A hand sprayer comes included, so you’re not stuck with a single sad stream. Marine blue and white color, one hose, one nozzle, and considerably less shed-wrestling in your future.
